Glycolysis and the Krebs Cycle: A Detailed Breakdown
Glycolysis
Glycolysis is the first step in cellular respiration. It is the process of breaking down glucose to make pyruvate. Glycolysis does not require oxygen (O2) and occurs in the cytosol.
Aerobic Respiration (Presence of Oxygen)
- Glycolysis
- Pyruvate oxidation, Krebs cycle
- Electron transport chain (ETC), oxidative phosphorylation
Anaerobic Respiration (Absence of Oxygen)
- Glycolysis
- Alcoholic fermentation (yeast)
- Lactic acid fermentation
Glycolysis Summary
- Glucose is broken down into 2 pyruvate molecules.
